A file manager with search at its core: names from your whole disk appear as you type. Tabs, folder sizes, folder merging, and undo for every file operation. Know the file is there, but search comes up empty? Opening window after window just to move things between two folders? Dropped a folder onto one with the same name and watched it get replaced? Staring at a copy with no idea how long it will take? Fastfind is a file manager for people who work with files all day. It keeps its own index of your disk, so file names show up as you type, and it handles the everyday things a file manager should simply do. SEARCH THAT FINDS IT • Results as you type, across the whole disk or just the current folder • Forgives a typo, and shows where every result lives • Filters like ext:pdf, size:, mtime: and tag:, with suggestions as you type • Search inside text files and code and see the matching lines, with regular expressions (Pro) • Keep searches you repeat in the sidebar (Pro) • Press Control-Option-Space in any app to jump straight to the search field • On our test machine (M3 Max, 11.2 million items), a file name search usually returns in under 2 ms BROWSE WITHOUT FRICTION • Tabs, plus list, icon and column views; each folder remembers its own view and sort order • Dual pane, with copy and move between the two sides (Pro) • Type a path, or part of a folder name, into the path bar to jump there • Folder sizes right in the list, read from the index, no waiting • Status bar with item count, selection size and free space • Show hidden files with one click, keep folders on top, choose what Return does • Press Space to preview FILE OPERATIONS YOU CAN TRUST • Cut and paste with Command-X and Command-V • When names collide: merge, replace, keep both or skip, and apply to all • Transfer queue with speed, time remaining and cancel; pause and resume (Pro) • Undo and redo for new items, rename, move, copy, merge, trash, compress, tags and more • Batch rename with find and replace, regular expressions and numbering, previewed before it runs (Pro) • New files from the right-click menu (text, Markdown, JSON, empty), zip and unzip, color tags A SIDEBAR THAT WORKS FOR YOU • Pin folders with your own icons and colors, organized into pages • Recently changed, recent downloads, large files and frequent folders, built from the index • Star any file or folder, and browse by tag EXTERNAL DISKS AND DISK SPACE • Each external disk gets its own index when connected and is searched together with your startup disk • Unplug a disk and still browse and search what is on it (Pro) • See what takes up space in a list and a treemap, calculated from the index with no extra scan. The top level of each disk is free; any folder with Pro FREE AND PRO Free: tabs, three views, folder sizes, whole-disk file name search with filters, cut and paste, folder merging, undo, the transfer queue, external disk search and a disk usage overview. Enough for everyday file work. Fastfind Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. It adds dual pane, search inside files, saved searches, batch rename, pausing transfers, browsing and searching unplugged disks, and disk usage inside any folder. PRIVACY • Your files and the index stay on this computer. No account, no analytics, no tracking. Apart from App Store purchases, the app does not connect to the internet. • On first launch you choose your startup disk in the standard open panel. That read and write access is what lets Fastfind index your files and copy, move and rename them for you. • Full Disk Access is optional and only needed for working with the Trash. REQUIREMENTS macOS 15 or later on Apple silicon. The first index of a large disk takes a little while (about 40 seconds on our test machine) and uses a few hundred MB of storage.
